The European Union is ready to provide financial assistance to Ukraine for the implementation of the Association Agreement, European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule has said.

"We stand ready to help and support Ukraine on its modernization journey, including through topping up IMF loans with macro-financial assistance; by stepping up the European Union's financial assistance programs to help Ukraine implement the Agreement, when it is signed, and helping to bring on board other international partners," he said at a plenary sitting of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Tuesday during the discussion of the Ukrainian issue.
